Technology Extremes in Sports : In or Out ???

On one hand there is technology assisted line calling in tennis wherein pure computer rendering of the path determines if the ball landed in or out. Even if there is a micro element of an already micro-sized tennis ball touching the line(via computer rendering), a call is made.Quite obviously, the player on the receiving end of the deal feels cheated due to such assistance and to be absolutely fair, the player on the other end feels like having got a cheat bonus. The tennis example being on extreme side of technology assistance makes it look absolutely inhuman for some of the results.

We are using technological assistance in games like hockey, cricket, basketball, motor sports, ice hockey, rugby etc., while there is nothing of that sort provided to soccer even if the referee on the ground confesses of not being in the best position to decide. Now this is one thing that I find absolutely ridiculous in the name of keeping human errors in the game i.e., making it more human. The only argument against such a stance would be the unimaginable amount of money, pride, emotions involved all across the world. Such a stake in the name of keeping things human which is purely a result of an individual or managements old school of thought. Do they actually not get bothered when obvious errors make or break a game. They always mention technology intervention to be harmful to the human element but I feel, that has taken place only in the case of tennis and assistance is something which should be the norm of the day.

Be it Lampard's goal against Germany or the deflection of the Dutch free kick against the spanish wall (the counter attack after that decided the world cup winners), obvious mistakes do not have a place in any form of the sport, in the name of human element at least.In this age the amount of money involved with soccer cannot take "Sorry" as an answer to an obviously wrong decision made.
